Technical School - Potomac College Financial Aid Checklist

  • FAFSA – Free Application for Federal Student Aid: The
    FAFSA is the information form that is used to determine eligibility for
    the Pell Grant and the Stafford Loan programs. Students are encouraged
    to complete this form when they meet with one of our Financial Aid
    officers. Click on the FAFSA link on the last screen to begin the
    process and/or to have additional financial aid application questions
    answered.
  • Credit Balance Authorization: The Credit Balance
    Authorization form indicates how the student wants Potomac College to
    manage a credit balance that may occur as a result of federal financial
    aid funds. This form must be signed, dated and submitted with the FAFSA.
  • Income Verification: Be aware that some FAFSA
    documents are randomly selected for the verification of income
    information. For each selected FAFSA, a Verification Worksheet must be
    completed, signed, and submitted to the Potomac College Financial Aid
    Office along with a signed copy of the student’s (and spouse’s or
    parents’, if applicable) federal tax return(s). Students are notified
    if their FAFSA is selected for verification. No funds will be disbursed
    prior to the receipt of a signed verification worksheet and federal
    income tax returns.
